Chapter 285 Don’t Be Fooled

After hearing Xiao Peng's words, everyone in the barrage started arguing.

Some people gloated over his misfortune, while others defended Xiao Peng.

"Look, look, even the rich have become ordinary people!"

"Are you stupid? If someone can't make ends meet and sells their boat, they're still super rich!"

"He's brave enough to trade all his wealth for a ship like this. He deserves to be rich!"

"That's right, do you have such courage?"

"Husband, you have lost all your money, what are you going to do next?"

Xiao Peng yawned. "If you lose money, you can earn it again! I'm here to salvage a sunken ship."

"Wow, is it another silver ship this time?"

"It's over, it's over. This anchor is finished. How long will it take to find a sunken ship? He's broke now!"

"Yeah, it takes so long to find a sunken ship. If you can't find it, the rich man will go bankrupt."

"Alas, this risk is too great. He has enough money to live comfortably for the rest of his life, so why would he fight for it?"

"Why buy such an expensive boat? I would just buy a cheaper one. You have no sense of risk at all."

"Isn't that wealthy man worse than you? He must have his own decisions!"

"Why spend so much money on a domestic ship instead of a good foreign one?"

"If this salvage operation fails, does that mean this masked tycoon will be completely ashamed to face the world?"

Xiao Peng looked at the comments and laughed cheerfully, "So what if the salvage attempt failed? Life is often disappointing. Either accept it or face it."

"So free and easy!"

“My husband is so handsome!”

"People die, but birds fly to the sky, and they live forever. I like this desperate spirit!"

"Come on, hubby, it's okay!"

"Just because of this buddy's awareness, good luck will surely follow!"

Xiao Peng continued, "Someone just complained about this ship? Well, let me tell you, we're heading to the Alboran Sea, located between Morocco, Algeria, and Spain. Because of its proximity to the Strait of Gibraltar, the current there is very strong, at approximately 2 knots. This current may not sound fast, but it's actually very fast for the ocean. Even the highest-level DP3 auxiliary dynamic positioning system can only guarantee accurate positioning in currents of 1.5 knots, and the current speeds here exceed the operating environment of the highest-level auxiliary dynamic positioning system. This is why, despite being well-known for shipwrecks near the Strait of Gibraltar, few people come to salvage it. Salvage operations here are extremely difficult. Furthermore, most of the ocean here belongs to Spain, a small portion belongs to the United Kingdom, and the Atlantic Ocean belongs to Portugal. Without good relations with these countries, salvaging here is impossible."

After hearing Xiao Peng's words, the barrage of comments started to flood the screen again.

"My husband is really impressive!"

"What you're saying is that we only need to maintain good relations with these few countries? What about the territorial waters of North African countries south of the Strait of Gibraltar?"

"Let's not talk about Algeria, what about Morocco? Morocco covers almost the entire southern coast of the Strait of Gibraltar."

Xiao Peng snapped his fingers. "That's a good question! Let me tell you, don't think the British bully the Spanish by occupying Gibraltar and even grabbing a piece of territorial waters. In fact, the Spanish have also bullied their brothers in North Africa. If you throw a stone on the beach in Morocco, the distance that an elementary school student can throw the stone is the Spanish territorial waters. Let me put it this way, if you swim in Morocco? On the shore, it's still Morocco, but if you go into the sea, the water is not deep enough to reach Spain before it reaches your waist! There is a reason why there are so many refugees in Spain. On the Spanish side of the Strait of Gibraltar, regular tourists are still swimming on the beach, and a rubber boat filled with refugees has landed on Spanish territory. The situation in Turkey and Greece is similar."

"But Spain's attitude towards refugees is much harsher than Greece's. Refugees in Greece will consciously seek refugee shelters, but in Spain? Refugees land and run to the city to avoid being caught. If they are caught, they will be deported. A considerable portion of the Alborán Sea where we're going to work belongs to Spain, but our work area isn't Spanish; it's a small stretch of international waters. And the reason I chose this Chinese ship... My friends, you underestimate Chinese technology. The Chinese have always been secretive about their products. A 1,000-ton gantry crane can lift 1,200 tons. Similarly, China's DP3 power assist system, while advertised as operating in 1.5-knot currents, can actually remain stable in 2.5-knot currents. Do you think I can avoid buying a Chinese ship?"

"What are you salvaging this time?"

"I'm more concerned about whether there are any gifts from this salvage."

"Yes, are there any gifts?"

Xiao Peng took out a gold coin from his pocket: "This is the goal this time!"

"Fuck, gold coins!"

"The silver we just salvaged last time was exchanged for gold this time?"

"Please give me a gift! I must win this time!"

"Gold is not so easy to salvage!"

Xiao Peng reached out and poured himself a glass of champagne. "You people, you can't just focus on money. Look at me, I don't have a penny now. What's that saying? The wind blows away the eggshells, and the money is gone, but the people are at peace! You should have a longer-term vision! Like leaving your name in history or something like that."

The barrage started to complain:

"The anchor is really good at showing off."

"Didn't drink Dom Perignon champagne for half a cent?"

“It’s so infuriating! Unsubscribe, unsubscribe!”

Xiao Peng laughed heartily. "I'm not showing off my wealth. There are countless fortunes in this world, and countless ways to make them. You just need to find the path that suits you to change your lives. I'm just an ordinary person. I originally became a diver to change my life, and later, by chance, I got into marine salvage. Other than that, I'm useless. Many of you are much better than me. Once you find your own path, you will all change your lives. As for leaving your name in history, how difficult is it? Let me tell you, many people on my ship have already left their names in history. So, this lottery is to give you a chance to leave your name in history!"

"What's the meaning?"

“How do I leave my name in history?”

"How can it be that simple?"

Xiao Peng smirked, "How about we hold a lottery? Whoever wins the lottery, tell me your name and I'll make your name part of history!"

Just then, Hu Guohui came over and heard what Xiao Peng said. He shouted into the camera, "Don't be fooled!"

Xiao Peng directly signaled Walter to drag Hu Guohui aside: "Don't listen to him, let's continue with the lottery!"
